The rain conveniently went from light to torrential right in time for the Bs game this weekend. This along with a desolate SHS and no opposition to be seen until 5 mins before the game, it didn't feel like the most energetic start. Poor Ellie wasn't feeling well so along with Caiti they provided some much needed sideline support. We took to the court with a focus on short passes and possession netball, which clicked right away, scoring the first few consecutive centres. Warren turned it up and we finished the quarter 8-8.

The second quarter saw much of the same. With courts like a lake and an equally slippery ball, unforced errors kept the game slow, ending 16-16 at half time. With a switch up seeing Ten to GA and Ellie to WA, we set a target to pull ahead in this quarter and succeeded to finish 24-21 up.

The last quarter gave us a chance to try some zone defence, which took a while to get into and only resulted in one (brilliant) intercept from Liv so Holly called us to switch back to man-on. This worked, and we pulled back our lead to finish 32-29. This game was really all about the defence, Dani and Liv worked tirelessly in the circle, forcing long balls and getting tips and intercepts all over the shop - resulting in well deserved POM and PP!

Well played girls, we toughed it out and got the win after losing to Warren late last season.
